Hi Everyone!
Thanks so much for logging in and joining the community! I'm Lindsay, and I run the Farmer Training Program at GreenWave.I live in Homer, Alaska. I grew up here commercial fishing in the summer and working on my family's oyster farm in the off season. (We've recently also started growing kelp!) It's been so exciting to see the kelp farming industry take hold in my home state, and watch farms pop up across the country.
In my role at GreenWave, I work to support aspiring and active ocean farmers across the country by answering questions, making connections, and pointing folks to the right people and resources. I'm absolutely thrilled to launch the community and welcome you all here. I look forward to many fruitful discussions.
Be in touch!

Well it seems that NL, Canada now has a desire to Grow Seaweed. And it's Government is putting Fundng upto $50k for
So I was talking with the Kerri-Ann Boone with Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture Department in Gov of NL. She is Head of the Seaweed Development in NL and has a program
Multi-Species Research and Development Fund (MSRDF) and upto $50k is available.
So I mentioned SeaRanch Farms concepts and issues for R&D in the Industry.
1. Sensors and monitoring sites.
2. Autonomous Seeding and Harvesting Systems
3. Advance Seeding Systems.
All of these we will need to develop for farming in the Oceans.
Also The Seasteading Institute has a Business Development, Marketing, Promotion and Investment opportunities for www.searanchfarms.com
Reaching out to Lindsay Olsen at GreenWave to make introductions. See if we can get Bren Smith back to NL, his native home, and get the SeaRanch going.
PS anyone from NL, reading this, say HI.
Cheers
